I am not sure that I understand the question? Cables from the sonic speed sensors and to the main processor are detailed on page 4-4 of the Hydra 2000 users manual, if this helps. Regards Ian SM

Hi Pat, if the input water is not saline, then the flow rate may become excessive damaging your membranes. I had the same experience in the Bra D'Or Lakes in Nova Scotia and to a lesser extent near
